Antonio Conte (born July 31, 1969 in Lecce) is an Italian former football (soccer) player turned manager.

He played most notably for U.S. Lecce, his hometown team, and Juventus F.C., where he also ended his career.

At Juventus, Antonio Conte was made captain before the promotion of Italian Golden boy Alessandro Del Piero to this role. During the 1998-1999 season when Del Piero suffered a horrendous leg injury, Conte returned to the captaincy temporarily and led Juventus to the UEFA Champions League semifinals.

In 2002-2003, Conte was part of the Juventus team which reached the UEFA Champions League final only to lose on penalties to A.C. Milan, with Conte himself coming closest to winning the game for Juventus in normal time when he crashed a header off the crossbar early in the second half.

He played for Italy national football team and was a participant at the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 2000 UEFA European Championship.

After having retired as footballer, Conte worked as assistant manager for A.C. Siena in the 2005/2006 season. In July 2006, he was appointed coach of Serie B side Arezzo. After a series of disappointing results, he was sacked on October 31, 2006; but on March 13, 2007 he was reappointed coach of Arezzo.
